must i install this on the outside if the door swings inside to open? if so, will bad weather deteriorate it and risk of vandalism? thanks community!

It can be made to work either way. You will have to play with magnet situation but it can work. Good luck.

We installed on a door that swings inside. Not sure why you would need to install outside.

I installed ours on the ceiling near the door. I'm a consumer just like you, so I'm not an expert. If it's a concern, I would call my local Fire Dept. and ask for their imput.Take care!

Hi Paul, this handle is made to install on the outside. No way you can open the door from inside if the door is locked. This handle is not solid. The handle broke after 3 months of use.

I have it installed on an exterior door. We just went thru a hurricane with heavy rains in Hawaii and experienced no problems.

No, definitely not.. the weather strip fits fine in the frame when the door is open.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

The fan is definitely designed to be mounted on the inside. To install outside, you'd likely have to build a frame on which to mount the fan, and then mount the frame and fan to the exterior wall. As far as weather protection, I'm really not sure.

No. This safe is not weather proof and not really secure at all for any type of outdoor installation. I would never recommend you attempt such a thing. This safe is ok, and I'm glad I have it to hide away some medium-value items to keep away from nosy roommates, babysitters, family members, children, etc. This safe would never deter and would barely slow down an actual criminal. Keep your money in a bank account.

It is supposed to be indoor or outdoor. But I wonder, especially with the connector, if it's good to have it exposed to direct rain. We have ours mounted on a covered porch. I'd wrap the connector in electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing and mount it under the eaves.

It could be mounted on the outside. I'm not positive if its water resistan but If it is I'm sure it will probably rust a little. I have little tit on my windows and mounted it inside and it's extremely bright even through the tint!

Should work may stick out a little,My door is in an exterior wall from my garage to outside, so far we love it. Is a little loud when swings closed but you get use to it.My dogs love the freedom.

My French doors open out so the screen is on the inside of my house. Sounds like you will need to put it outside of your home, I can't speak to how the screen will hold up to the elements but i get tons of compliments on it.and it's super easy for my dog to go in and out

Personally I would not try to use the door while this is installed. Not enough room in a normal width patio door with this in there but the biggest reason is energy efficiency. I have a burglar bar pushing the partially opened door tight against the dog door. Then I have the wide rubber insulation strip on the patio door where there is now a space because the door doesn't seal. I purchased another strip of this from a pet website for the inside part of the other door so now it's very tight and recent wind and cold showed no drafts. So with all that you would have a lot of air leakage going in and out of the door. I have another patio door to use so works great for me.

DavidThis lock will have a characteristic of exterior weather resistance but i'd be somewhat concerned if the lock was in direct sunlight. The finish of most locksets would then deteriorate over time. So the answer again...it's good to go but get some cover over the lockset. Hope this was helpful.Jerry

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

I wouldn't put it outside if it were me. Not sure about the texture of the wall you're placing it on, but they are just stickers. I highly doubt it would hold up against the weather. I bought this a while ago and I love it, but mine is inside!
